#Listening to the 1969 album
Tadpoles by the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band;

There's a track that starts with a posh-sounding gentlemen trying to interview passers-by about shirts. It's not surprising that these folks shared personnel with Monty Python, in the form of Neil Innes.

"Ladies and gentleman, I've suffered for my music, now it's your turn"

Remembering Neil Innes who was born today 9th December 1944, today would have been his 80th birthday

Louder Than War: "Neil Innes – ‘How Sweet To Be An Idiot’ Memorial Gig – 28th Nov"

Today’s listening is ’Recollections-Le Duck’s Box Set’, the 2012 compilation by Neil Innes.

This compiles his output from after the end of the Bonzo Dog Band up to after the end of the 3rd series of the Innes Book Of Records in 1981.

Neil Innes was the master of pastiche (or should that be homage?) and there are a multitude of musical styles to be enjoyed here.

For example, the track ‘Godfrey Daniel’ is a perfect Elton John pastiche!

He was a talented man!

ChatGPT making things up about the article:

This article tells the story of Neil Innes, the English comedy musician behind The Rutles and other comedic projects. Innes discusses how his career has evolved over the years, from comedy to music and beyond, and reflects on the success of The Rutles, a mock-Beatles band he started with Monty Python’s Eric Idle. Innes also talks about the lasting impact The Rutles have had on film and music, and shares his plans for the future of the group.

The sadly late but always great Neil Innes, interviewed in 2019:

Or as Neil Innes put it -

"I've suffered for my music.
Now it's your turn."

Remembering #NeilInnes, gone on this day 3 years ago. Was lucky enough to see him in action with The Rutles at The Fleece in #bristol in 2014. Was quite a night.
